We're getting closer and closer to the big day and we are all speculating what will be this year's Christmas Number 1?
But what about the songs of Christmas past?
Here is our list of the worst Christmas number ones of all time...
Now since we're kind of okay witthehe Irish chart we're going to look to our neighbours across the channel too.
The UK has had some bizarre Christmas number ones.
Bob The Builder - Can We Fix It? (2000)
Love a bob the builder anthem but not at Christmas!
Mr Blobby - ‘Mr Blobby’ (1993)
Uk Numer one back in 1993, this still gives us nightmares.
Clean Bandit - Rockabye (2016)
Both number one in Ireland and the UK in 2016. Just not Christmassy enough, save it for July!
Zig And Zag - Christmas No.1 (1990)
No just no....
St. Winifred's School Choir - There's No One Like Grandma (1980)
The 80s was a weird time.
Joe McElderry - The Climb (2009)
Hands up who forgot about this one?
